Comment by Joseph Stiglitz

What we must recognize is that we created a system where workers don't have much bargaining power. In that kind of world AI may be an ally of the employer and weaken workers' bargaining power even more, which could increase inequality even more. [...] Unfettered capitalism, unfettered innovation, does not lead to the general well-being of our society. One can't just leave it to the market. Unverified source (2026)
